How Multinationals Developed

Michel Ghertman and Margaret Allen

Chapter 1 in An Introduction to the Multinationals, 1984, pp 7-35 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The multinational company is not the only form of international organization, nor is it the first that ever existed. From earliest history — we have only to think of the Phoenicians 2500 years BC or the Venetians from the tenth century through the Renaissance — merchants have traded on an international basis. The same is true of bankers. Churches, too, spread outside of their home territory, thanks to missionaries.
